Vision Analysis
Analyze images using the MiniMax MiniMax understand image MCP tool available in the MiniMax Token Plan.
Prerequisites
MiniMax Token Plan subscription with valid MINIMAX API KEY
MiniMax MCP configured ( MiniMax understand image tool available)
If MCP tool is not configured
Step 1: The agent should fetch setup instructions from:
https://platform.minimaxi.com/docs/token plan/mcp guide
Step 2: Detect the user's environment (OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and output the exact commands needed. Common examples:
OpenCode — add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json or package.json :
Claude Code :
Cursor — add to MCP settings:
Step 3: After configuration, tell the user to restart their app and verify with /mcp .
Important: If the user does not have a MiniMax Token Plan subscription, inform them that the understand image tool requires one — it cannot be used with free or other tier API keys.

Extract the image path from the message.
